Finding the entire site map (any and all)

Is there a way to learn all the addresses of a particular web site? A friend of mine has setup a treasure hunt and I want to cheat. All those addresses would make figuring out the clues a lot easier. [img]/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Finding the entire site map (any and all)

The way a search engine works is to try every link in a page, and then every link in those pages, and so on, and so on. That's pretty much the only way to discover the pages on a site without some kind of privileged access. That and Google (site:mysite.com search). <img src=/S/grin.gif border=0 alt=grin width=15 height=15>

If the pages are linked from the main page, the full-up Adobe Acrobat has the capability of making a PDF of the entire site, one page at a time. You can select the number of levels deep, or "All." I haven't tried it myself; this info is based on input from a friend of a friend...

I used that feature when I had Acrobat "Business Tools," a down-market flavor of version 4. A plus was that it could "shrink to fit" when the page design is too wide. A minus was that it didn't work with sites that wanted to set a cookie. Presumably they have addressed that one by now.

OK, Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have Acrobat anything but Reader (Work took it away a while back because I only use it twice a day). Guess I will have to figure the clues the old fashioned way.
